I know that RLL drives can be reformatted for use on an MFM controller, but that would mean a 70 MB MFM drive instead of a 110 MB RLL drive. A chunk of space that I can't do without right now. I read my Zenith Owners' Manual, but it had little to no information in it. The manual I got with the RLL controller has no information whatsoever on setting up the RLL card as a secondary controller; only info on changing the controller BIOS address. Help me, please! The spider! Help me! Thank you and happy hunting! Actually: Ethan M. Young "If Linus looked like Worf, would you Internet: fargo@iear.arts.rpi.edu try to take his blanket away?"
